Mis on Poppin?

Jack Dorsey + Bitcoin + DeFi = TBD

Last month, Twitter and Square CEO Jack Dorsey left the Bitcoin community with quite a cliffhanger, teasing the launch of a new, BTC-focused company titled “TBD.” 

Well, according to Dorsey and Mike Brock, the CashApp exec leading TBD, the company’s plans are no longer vague. TBD knows the problem it’s trying to solve: the project plans to build a Bitcoin-native decentralized exchange, where users can trade fiat for BTC without relying on a centralized third party. 

In a tweet thread, Brock describes TBD’s purpose as such: “make it easy to fund a non-custodial wallet anywhere in the world through a platform to build on- and off-ramps into Bitcoin. You can think about this as a decentralized exchange for fiat.” 

He thinks TBD is a missing piece for the crypto industry, citing Bitcoin’s reliance on centralized intermediaries and custodians.  

"We believe Bitcoin will be the native currency of the internet. While there are many projects to help make the internet more decentralized, our focus is solely on a sound global monetary system for all. But including all requires a few pieces we think are missing,” Brock explains. “Getting bitcoin today typically involves exchanging fiat at a centralized and custodial service like Cash App or Coinbase. These on- and off-ramps to Bitcoin have a number of issues, and aren’t distributed evenly around the world.” 

For now, the exact specifications of TBD are not finalized. The project will be completely open-sourced, without a foundation or governance model. According to Brock, “it’s permissionless or bust.” TBD plans to bring the ethos of decentralization to fiat trades, a feat yet to be accomplished in the crypto industry. 

Pulling this off will require a new tech stack for Bitcoin. Unlike Ethereum, Solana, or Binance Smart Chain, Bitcoin is not natively built to handle smart contracts and DeFi. Brock mentioned Rootstock, a smart-contract Bitcoin sidechain, as a possible option for building out the BTC DEX. However, he noted, “the gaps needed to build this may be too large, which would also have us consider other chains as a bridge.”
